A servant is healed
7 After Jesus finished presenting all his words among the people, he entered Capernaum. 2 A centurion had a servant who was very important to him, but the servant was ill and about to die. 3 When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to Jesus to ask him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they earnestly pleaded with Jesus. “He deserves to have you do this for him,” they said. 5 “He loves our people and he built our synagogue for us.”
6 Jesus went with them. He had almost reached the house when the centurion sent friends to say to Jesus, “Lord, don’t be bothered. I don’t deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 In fact, I didn’t even consider myself worthy to come to you. Just say the word and my servant will be healed. 8 I’m also a man appointed under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes, and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and the servant does it.”
9 When Jesus heard these words, he was impressed with the centurion. He turned to the crowd following him and said, “I tell you, even in Israel I haven’t found faith like this.” 10 When the centurion’s friends returned to his house, they found the servant restored to health.
Jesus raises a widow’s son
11 A little later Jesus went to a city called Nain. His disciples and a great crowd traveled with him. 12 As he approached the city gate, a dead man was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow. A large crowd from the city was with her. 13 When he saw her, the Lord had compassion for her and said, “Don’t cry.” 14 He stepped forward and touched the stretcher on which the dead man was being carried. Those carrying him stood still. Jesus said, “Young man, I say to you, get up.” 15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.
16 Awestruck, everyone praised God. “A great prophet has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.” 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding region.
John the Baptist and Jesus
18 John’s disciples informed him about all these things. John called two of his disciples 19 and sent them to the Lord. They were to ask him, “Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?”
20 When they reached Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you. He asks, ‘Are you the one who is coming, or should we look for someone else?’”
21 Right then, Jesus healed many of their diseases, illnesses, and evil spirits, and he gave sight to a number of blind people. 22 Then he replied to John’s disciples, “Go, report to John what you have seen and heard. Those who were blind are able to see. Those who were crippled now walk. People with skin diseases are cleansed. Those who were deaf now hear. Those who were dead are raised up. And good news is preached to the poor.[a] 23 Happy is anyone who doesn’t stumble along the way because of me.”
24 After John’s messengers were gone, Jesus spoke to the crowds about John. “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A stalk blowing in the wind? 25 What did you go out to see? A man dressed up in refined clothes? Look, those who dress in fashionable clothes and live in luxury are in royal palaces. 26 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 He is the one of whom it’s written: Look, I’m sending my messenger before you, who will prepare your way before you.[b] 28 I tell you that no greater human being has ever been born than John. Yet whoever is least in God’s kingdom is greater than he.” 29 Everyone who heard this, including the tax collectors, acknowledged God’s justice because they had been baptized by John. 30 But the Pharisees and legal experts rejected God’s will for themselves because they hadn’t been baptized by John.
31 “To what will I compare the people of this generation?” Jesus asked. “What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace calling out to each other, ‘We played the flute for you and you didn’t dance. We sang a funeral song and you didn’t cry.’ 33 John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 Yet the Human One[c] came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ 35 But wisdom is proved to be right by all her descendants.”
Forgiveness and gratitude
36 One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him. After he entered the Pharisee’s home, he took his place at the table. 37 Meanwhile, a woman from the city, a sinner, discovered that Jesus was dining in the Pharisee’s house. She brought perfumed oil in a vase made of alabaster. 38 Standing behind him at his feet and crying, she began to wet his feet with her tears. She wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and poured the oil on them. 39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw what was happening, he said to himself, If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. He would know that she is a sinner.
40 Jesus replied, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”
“Teacher, speak,” he said.
41 “A certain lender had two debtors. One owed enough money to pay five hundred people for a day’s work.[d] The other owed enough money for fifty. 42 When they couldn’t pay, the lender forgave the debts of them both. Which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the largest debt canceled.”
Jesus said, “You have judged correctly.”
44 Jesus turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? When I entered your home, you didn’t give me water for my feet, but she wet my feet with tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but she hasn’t stopped kissing my feet since I came in. 46 You didn’t anoint my head with oil, but she has poured perfumed oil on my feet. 47 This is why I tell you that her many sins have been forgiven; so she has shown great love. The one who is forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
49 The other table guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this person that even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

Излекуването на слугата на стотника
7 (A)След като свърши всички Свои речи към народа, който Го слушаше[a], Исус влезе в Капернаум.
2 А на някой си стотник слугата, който му беше мил, беше болен на умиране.
3 И като чу за Исус, изпрати до Него някои юдейски старейшини да го помолят да дойде и изцели слугата му.
4 А те дойдоха при Исус и Го молеха настоятелно, като казваха: Той заслужава да направиш това за него,
5 защото обича нашия народ и той ни е построил синагогата.
6 Докато Исус вървеше с тях и беше вече недалеч от къщата, стотникът изпрати до Него приятели да Му кажат: Господи, не си прави труд, защото не съм достоен да влезеш под покрива ми;
7 затова не сметнах себе си достоен да дойда при Тебе; кажи само дума и слугата ми ще оздравее.
8 Защото и аз съм човек, поставен под власт, и имам подчинени на мене войници; и казвам на един: Иди!, и той отива; и на друг: Ела!, и идва; и на слугата си: Направи това!, и той го прави.
9 Като чу това, Исус му се почуди; обърна се и каза на вървящото след Него множество: Казвам ви, дори в Израил не съм намерил толкова вяра.
10 И когато изпратените се върнаха в къщата, намериха слугата оздравял.
Възкресяването на сина на вдовицата от Наин
11 А скоро след това Исус отиде в един град, наречен Наин; и с Него вървяха учениците Му и едно голямо множество.
12 И когато се приближи до градската порта, ето, изнасяха мъртвец, единствен син на майка си, която беше и вдовица; и с нея имаше голямо множество от града.
13 И Господ, като я видя, смили се над нея и каза: Недей да плачеш.
14 (B)Тогава се приближи и се допря до носилката; а носачите се спряха. И каза: Момче, казвам ти, стани.
15 И мъртвият се повдигна и седна, и започна да говори. И Исус го предаде на майка му.
16 (C)Тогава страх обзе всички и славеха Бога, като казваха: Велик пророк се издигна между нас; и Бог посети Своя народ.
17 И мълвата за Него се разнесе по цяла Юдея и по цялата околност.
Исус Христос и Йоан Кръстител
18 (D)А учениците на Йоан му известиха за всичко това.
19 (E)И Йоан повика двама от учениците си и ги прати при Господа да попитат: Ти ли си Онзи, Който трябва да дойде, или друг да очакваме?
20 И като дойдоха при Него, човеците казаха: Йоан Кръстител ни прати при Тебе да попитаме: Ти ли си Онзи, Който трябва да дойде, или друг да очакваме?
21 И в същия час Той изцели мнозина от болести и язви, и зли духове, и на мнозина слепи даде зрение.
22 (F)Тогава Той им отговори: Идете и разкажете на Йоан това, което видяхте и чухте, че слепи проглеждат, куци прохождат, прокажени се очистват и глухи прочуват; мъртви биват възкресени и на сиромасите се проповядва благовестието.
23 (G)И блажен е онзи, който не се съблазни в Мене.
24 (H)А когато си отидоха изпратените от Йоан, Исус започна да говори на множествата за Йоан: Какво излязохте да видите в пустинята? Тръстика ли, от вятър разлюлявана?
25 Но какво излязохте да видите? Човек, облечен в меки дрехи? Ето, великолепно облечените и онези, които живеят разкошно, са в царските дворци.
26 Но какво излязохте да видите? Пророк ли? Да, казвам ви, и повече от пророк.
27 (I)Това е онзи, за когото е писано:
„Ето, Аз изпращам вестителя Си пред Твоето лице,
който ще приготви пътя Ми пред Тебе.“
28 (J)Казвам ви: Между родените от жена няма по-голям от Йоан; обаче по-малкият в Божието царство е по-голям от него.
29 (K)(И целият народ и бирниците, като чуха това, признаха Божията правда, като бяха се кръстили с Йоановото кръщение.
30 (L)А фарисеите и законниците отхвърлиха Божията воля спрямо себе си, като не бяха се кръстили от него.)
31 (M)А на кого да уподобя човеците от това поколение? И на какво приличат?
32 Те приличат на деца, които седят на пазара, които викат едно на друго и казват: Свирихме ви и не играхте, жалеехме и не плакахте.
33 (N)Защото Йоан Кръстител дойде, който нито хляб яде, нито вино пие, и казвате: Бяс има.
34 Дойде Човешкият Син, Който яде и пие, и казвате: Ето, човек лаком и винопиец, приятел на бирниците и на грешниците.
35 (O)Но пак мъдростта се оправдава от всичките си чеда.
Исус Христос и грешницата
36 (P)И един от фарисеите Го покани да яде с него; и Той влезе в къщата на фарисея и седна на трапезата.
37 (Q)И, ето, една жена от града, която беше грешница, като разбра, че Исус седи на трапезата в къщата на фарисея, донесе алабастрен съд с миро.
38 И като застана отзад при нозете Му и плачеше, започна да облива нозете Му със сълзи и да ги изтрива с косата си, целуваше нозете Му и ги мажеше с мирото.
39 (R)А като видя това фарисеят, който Го бе поканил, си каза: Този, ако беше пророк, щеше да знае коя и каква е жената, която се допира до Него, че е грешница.
40 А Исус се обърна към него с думите: Симоне, имам нещо да ти кажа. А той отговори: Учителю, кажи.
41 Някой си лихвар имаше двама длъжника; единият дължеше петстотин динария, а другият – петдесет.
42 И понеже нямаха с какво да му платят, той опрости дълга и на двамата. И така, кой от тях ще го обикне повече?
43 Симон отговори: Мисля, че онзи, на когото е простил повече. А Той му каза: Правилно си отсъдил.
44 И като се обърна към жената, каза на Симон: Виждаш ли тази жена? Влязох в къщата ти, но ти вода за нозете Ми не даде; а тя със сълзи обля нозете Ми и с косата си ги изтри.
45 Ти целувка не Ми даде за поздрав; а тя, откакто съм влязъл, не е престанала да целува нозете Ми.
46 (S)Ти с елей не помаза главата Ми; а тя с миро помазва нозете Ми.
47 Затова ти казвам: Прощават се многото грехове (защото тя обикна много), а на когото малко се прощава, той малко обича.
48 (T)И каза: Прощават ти се греховете.
49 (U)И тези, които седяха с Него на трапезата, започнаха да се питат един друг: Кой е Този, Който и греховете прощава?
50 (V)Исус каза на жената: Твоята вяра те спаси; иди си с мир.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Alipin ng Isang Kapitan(A)
7 Nang matapos ni Jesus ang lahat ng kanyang sasabihin sa mga taong nakikinig ay pumasok siya sa Capernaum. 2 Doon ay may isang kapitan ng mga kawal na may aliping maysakit at nasa bingit na ng kamatayan. Ito ay napamahal na sa kanya. 3 Kaya nang marinig ang tungkol kay Jesus, isinugo niya ang ilan sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio upang makiusap kay Jesus na dalawin siya at pagalingin ang kanyang alipin. 4 Sa kanilang pagharap kay Jesus ay pinakiusapan nila ito nang mabuti. Sinabi nila, “Siya ay karapat-dapat na paunlakan ninyo, 5 sapagkat mahal niya ang ating bansa. Ipinagpatayo pa niya tayo ng sinagoga.” 6 Kaya naman sumama sa kanila si Jesus; ngunit hindi kalayuan mula sa bahay ay ipinasalubong na siya ng kapitan sa kanyang mga kaibigan upang sabihin sa kanya, “Panginoon, huwag na po kayong mag-abala pa sapagkat hindi ako karapat-dapat na inyong sadyain sa loob ng aking bahay. 7 At hindi ko rin itinuring na karapat-dapat ang aking sarili na humarap sa inyo. Ngunit ipag-utos po lamang ninyo at gagaling na ang aking alipin. 8 Ako man ay taong nasa ilalim ng kapangyarihan at may mga kawal na nasasakupan. Sabihin ko lang sa isa, ‘Humayo ka!’ at siya ay hahayo. Sa isa naman, ‘Halika!’ at siya ay lalapit. Gayon din sa aking alipin, ‘Gawin mo ito!’ at gagawin nga niya.” 9 Namangha si Jesus pagkarinig dito at pagbaling niya sa mga taong sumusunod sa kanya ay nagsabi, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo, hindi ako nakakita ng ganitong pananampalataya sa Israel!” 10 At pagbalik nila sa bahay ng nagsugo sa kanila ay nakita nilang magaling na ang alipin.
Binuhay ni Jesus ang Anak ng Balo
11 Kinabukasan, pumunta si Jesus sa isang bayang kung tawagin ay Nain at sumama sa kanya ang kanyang mga alagad at ang napakaraming tao. 12 Nang malapit na sila sa bungad ng bayan ay naroon at ililibing ang namatay na kaisa-isang anak na lalaki ng kanyang inang balo. Napakaraming taong nakipaglibing sa kanya mula sa bayan. 13 Nahabag ang Panginoon nang makita ang balo at sinabi sa kanya, “Huwag kang umiyak!” 14 At paglapit ay hinipo niya ang kinalalagyan ng patay at tumigil naman ang mga nagbubuhat. Sinabi niya, “Binata, inuutusan kita. Bumangon ka!” 15 Umupo naman ang namatay at nagsimulang magsalita. Ibinigay ito ni Jesus sa kanyang ina. 16 Nabalot ng takot ang lahat at niluwalhati nila ang Diyos sa pagsasabing, “Dumating sa atin ang isang dakilang propeta at dinalaw ng Diyos ang kanyang bayan.” 17 Kumalat sa buong Judea at sa mga nakapaligid na lugar ang balitang ito tungkol sa kanya.
Ang mga Sugo mula kay Juan na Tagapagbautismo(B)
18 Ibinalita kay Juan ng mga alagad nito ang tungkol sa lahat ng mga ito. Kaya't tinawag ni Juan ang dalawa sa kanyang mga alagad 19 at isinugo sila sa Panginoon upang magtanong, “Ikaw na ba ang aming pinakahihintay o maghihintay pa kami ng iba?” 20 Pagdating ng mga lalaking ito kay Jesus ay kanilang sinabi, “Isinugo kami ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo upang magtanong, ‘Ikaw na ba ang aming pinakahihintay o maghihintay pa kami ng iba?’ ” 21 Nang oras na iyon ay marami siyang pinagaling sa karamdaman, sa salot at sa masasamang espiritu. Marami ring bulag na binigyan niya ng paningin. 22 Kaya't sinabi niya sa mga sugo ni Juan, “Humayo kayo at ibalita ninyo kay Juan ang inyong mga nakita at narinig: Nakakakitang muli ang mga bulag, nakalalakad ang mga pilay, gumagaling ang mga ketongin, nakaririnig ang mga bingi, muling nabubuhay ang mga patay, at ibinabahagi sa mahihirap ang mabuting balita. 23 Pinagpapala ang taong hindi mag-aalinlangan sa akin.” 24 Nang makaalis ang mga isinugo ni Juan ay nagsimulang magsabi si Jesus sa mga tao ng tungkol kay Juan, “Ano ang sinadya ninyo sa ilang upang makita? Isang tambo na idinuduyan ng hangin? 25 Ano nga ba ang sinadya ninyo upang makita? Isang lalaking nabibihisan ng magarang damit? Naroon sa palasyo ng mga hari ang mga nakasuot ng magagara at namumuhay nang marangya. 26 Subalit ano nga ba ang sinadya ninyo upang makita? Isang propeta? Oo nga! Sinasabi ko sa inyo, siya'y higit pa sa isang propeta. 27 Siya ang tinutukoy ng Kasulatan,
‘Narito at ipinadadala ko ang aking sugo na mauna sa iyong harapan.
Siya ang maghahanda para sa iyo ng iyong daraanan.’
28 Sinasabi ko sa inyo, walang sinuman sa mga taong isinilang ang higit na dakila kaysa kay Juan, ngunit ang pinakahamak sa kaharian ng Diyos ay mas dakila pa sa kanya.” 29 Ang lahat ng taong nakarinig pati na ang mga maniningil ng buwis ay kumilala sa katuwiran ng Diyos dahil binautismuhan sila ng bautismo ni Juan. 30 Ngunit dahil hindi nagpabautismo sa kanya ang mga Fariseo at ang mga dalubhasa sa Kautusan, tinanggihan nila ang layunin ng Diyos para sa kanila.
31 “Saan ko ngayon maihahambing ang mga tao ng kasalukuyang panahon? Ano ang katulad nila? 32 Tulad nila'y mga batang nakaupo sa pamilihan at nagsasabi sa isa't isa,
‘Tinugtugan namin kayo ng plauta ngunit hindi kayo sumayaw!
Nanaghoy kami ngunit hindi kayo umiyak!’
33 Sapagkat dumating si Juan na Tagapagbautismo na hindi kumakain ng tinapay ni umiinom ng alak, at sinasabi ninyong, ‘Siya ay may demonyo.’ 34 Dumating naman ang Anak ng Tao na kumakain at umiinom at sinabi naman ninyong, ‘Tingnan ninyo ang taong matakaw at manlalasing, at kaibigan ng mga maniningil ng buwis at ng mga makasalanan.’ 35 Gayon pa man, ang karunungan ay pinatutunayang matuwid ng kanyang mga tagasunod.”
Si Jesus sa Tahanan ni Simon na Fariseo
36 Isang Fariseo ang nag-anyaya kay Jesus na kumaing kasalo niya. Pagpasok niya sa bahay ng Fariseo ay umupo siya sa hapag. 37 Isang babaing makasalanan ang nakatira sa lungsod na iyon. At dahil alam nitong kumakain si Jesus doon sa bahay ng Fariseo ay nagdala ito ng pabango sa sisidlang alabastro. 38 Tumayo siyang umiiyak sa likuran sa may paanan ni Jesus, at unti-unting binasá ang mga paa nito ng kanyang luha. Pinunasan niya ang mga ito ng kanyang buhok at pinaghahagkan ang mga paa ni Jesus at pinahiran iyon ng pabango. 39 Nang makita ito ng Fariseo na nag-anyaya sa kanya ay sinabi nito sa kanyang sarili, “Kung propeta nga ang taong ito, dapat ay alam niya kung sino at anong uring babae itong humahawak sa kanya sapagkat ito ay makasalanan.” 40 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Simon, mayroon akong sasabihin sa iyo.” “Sige po Guro,” sagot ni Simon. 41 “May dalawang umutang sa isang tao. Ang isa ay umutang ng limandaang denaryo at ang isa naman ay limampu. 42 Nang hindi makabayad, kapwa sila pinatawad. Sino ngayon sa kanila ang higit na magmamahal sa nagpautang?” 43 Sumagot si Simon, “Sa palagay ko po'y ang pinatawad nang mas malaki.” At sinabi niya rito, “Tama ang iyong pagkaunawa.” 44 Pagharap niya sa babae ay sinabi niya kay Simon, “Nakikita mo ba ang babaing ito? Pumasok ako sa iyong bahay at hindi mo man lang ako binigyan ng tubig para sa aking mga paa. Ngunit binasa niya ng luha ang aking mga paa at pinunasan ito ng kanyang mga buhok. 45 Hindi mo ako hinagkan, ngunit mula nang pumasok ako ay hindi pa siya humihinto nang kahahalik sa aking mga paa. 46 Hindi mo binuhusan ng langis ang aking ulo ngunit pinahiran niya ng pabango ang aking mga paa. 47 Kaya't sinasabi ko sa inyo, ang marami niyang mga kasalanan ay pinatawad na; kaya naman nagmahal siya nang higit. Ngunit ang pinatawad nang kaunti ay magmamahal nang kaunti.” 48 Pagkatapos ay sinabi niya sa babae, “Pinatawad na ang iyong mga kasalanan.” 49 Nagsimulang magtanong sa isa't isa ang mga kasalo niya, “Sino ba ang taong ito at nagpapatawad pa ng kasalanan?” 50 At sinabi niya sa babae, “Iniligtas ka ng iyong pananampalataya. Humayo kang panatag ang kalooban.”

The Faith of the Centurion(A)
7 When Jesus had finished saying all this(B) to the people who were listening, he entered Capernaum. 2 There a centurion’s servant, whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die. 3 The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal his servant. 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” 6 So Jesus went with them.
He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. 7 That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed.(C) 8 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
9 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” 10 Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well.
Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son(D)
11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out—the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord(E) saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, “Don’t cry.”
14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”(F) 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
16 They were all filled with awe(G) and praised God.(H) “A great prophet(I) has appeared among us,” they said. “God has come to help his people.”(J) 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.(K)
Jesus and John the Baptist(L)
18 John’s(M) disciples(N) told him about all these things. Calling two of them, 19 he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”
20 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?’”
21 At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses(O) and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind. 22 So he replied to the messengers, “Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy[a] are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor.(P) 23 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”
24 After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 25 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are in palaces. 26 But what did you go out to see? A prophet?(Q) Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 27 This is the one about whom it is written:
28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God(S) is greater than he.”
29 (All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptized by John.(T) 30 But the Pharisees and the experts in the law(U) rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.)
31 Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:
“‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not cry.’
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine,(V) and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’(W) 35 But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”
Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman(X)(Y)
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. 38 As she stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them and poured perfume on them.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet,(Z) he would know who is touching him and what kind of woman she is—that she is a sinner.”
40 Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to tell you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
41 “Two people owed money to a certain moneylender. One owed him five hundred denarii,[c] and the other fifty. 42 Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both. Now which of them will love him more?”
43 Simon replied, “I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.”
“You have judged correctly,” Jesus said.
44 Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet,(AA) but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss,(AB) but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46 You did not put oil on my head,(AC) but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47 Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”
48 Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”(AD)
49 The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
50 Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you;(AE) go in peace.”(AF)
